Great scoop cars4life. I feel Hyundai have gone over-board with the pricing, never the less they are going to find hordes of consumers at these prices too, that is if the pricing is to be believed. What they have done through selective leaks is gathered that consumers have liked the product & so they have put on a premium tag to cash in on the demand.

While competition in the form of Maruti Scross, doesnt have the looks to take the fight to the Creta & nor an Auto option.

These are real disappointing pricing...for a car like this, I think Hyundai needs to think first that they need to take EcoSport head on...and for that they must correct price by 1 L for petrol and 1.5L for Diesel

This is the Creta Sport sold in South-American markets... It gets a host of styling tweaks including a redesigned front grille, new skid plate, new rear spoiler, 17-inch alloy wheels and gloss-black exterior finish. The interior is all-black too.

No news of whether this will come here to India, but I definitely think they should bring it here! What about you?

Hyundai is expected to launch the updated Creta on May 22, 2018. While dealer training sessions are still underway, we’ve got our hands on a complete feature list that tells us what's new on the upcoming Creta facelift.

What’s new on the outside?

The Creta facelift will be identifiable by its larger hexagonal grille that is in line with Hyundai’s latest styling theme. The grille, with a thick chrome surround, flows into the headlights that will carry on unchanged. The new chunky front bumper also sports creases and has separate housings for the fog lamps. Also new is a thick black chin that adds muscle to the look. At the rear, it gets a slightly redesigned bumper.

The Creta facelift will be available in both, single- and dual-tone colour options. The single tone options will include White, Passion Orange, Black, Silver, Stardust, Marina Blue and Fire Red, while dual-tone colours will include White with black, and Orange with black.

What engines and gearboxes will the Hyundai Creta facelift come with?

The refreshed Creta will continue to be sold with the 90hp, 1.4-litre diesel, the 123hp, 1.6-litre petrol and 128hp, 1.6-litre diesel engine, like the outgoing model. The 1.4 will be available solely with a manual gearbox, while the 1.6 units will continue to get the option of manual and automatic gearboxes. No mechanical changes are expected on the SUV.

The variant breakup is as follows:

Hyundai Creta 1.4 diesel MT: E+ and S variant

Hyundai Creta 1.6 petrol MT: E, E+, SX, SX (dual tone), SX(O)

Hyundai Creta 1.6 diesel MT: SX, SX (dual tone), SX (O)

Hyundai Creta 1.6 petrol AT: SX

Hyundai Creta 1.6 diesel AT: S, SX

What’s new on the inside? What about features?

The updated Creta will share the dashboard with the current model. However, the variants of the Creta facelift will get a rejig. Like the outgoing Creta, all variants of the facelifted model will get dual airbags and ABS as standard. The following list gives you the variant-wise feature highlights and additions on the Creta facelift.
